Why's that?.
But it's true no matter how easy you win first fight don't mean you win rematch

Come on guys, schmelling vs Louis is the prime example, one sided domination ending in 12th round ko in first fight, avenged one year later by stoppage in the first 90 seconds.

Louis lucky to get a rematch. Another fighter was tip tapped for 12 rounds and lost about 8-4 by judges and didn't get rematch as fight was boring?

Taver vs Harding is one of those fights. Harding dominated, dropped, and broke Tarver's jaw in the first fight only to get ko'd in the rematch. Willie Pep was punished by Saddler the first time and boxed his way to a decision in the rematch only to be ko'd in the 3rd and 4th fights. Those are 2 I instantly think of.

Two lesser know examples are Stephane Ouellet vs Davey Hilton and Dana Rosenblatt vs Vinny Pazienza.

Ouellet and Hilton fought three times. In the first fight, Ouellet was well ahead on the scorecards when he was brutally stopped in the 12th. In the rematch, Hilton crushed him in a few rounds. They had a third fight in which Ouellet finally got his revenge and outboxed Hilton easily.

For Rosenblatt, he was pitching a shutout when got caught in the 4th round and was viciously stopped by Pazienza. Paz tried to keep hitting him after the fight was waved off. In the rematch, Rosenblatt outboxed the Italian but had to navigate a knockdown and a few other dicey moments to win a split decision.
